Beaver Sports Cake

"Just ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does now know that the hand of the LORD has done this?" (Job 12:7-9)

Today, I'm baking a beaver-sports cake for our beaver-loving grandboy's sixth birthday. Football: beavers vs badgers. Soccer: beavers vs bears. Basketball: beavers vs foxes.

Beavers are one of God's most clever creations. Did you know that beavers have special valves in their ears and nose that close when beavers dives under the water and reopen when they surface?

Did you know that God gave beavers goggle eyes —transparent eyelids that close underwater allowing them to still see very well?

Did you that God specially designed beavers' self-sharpening front teeth strong enough to "chop" down trees! And even more amazing, God gave them the ability to  chew sticks underwater with no water entering their mouths because they have fur mouth flaps between their front incisors and rear molars?

Plus, a beaver's large paddle-shaped tail is an effective rudder and webbed hind feet make it an excellent swimmer.

Thank You for beavers, Lord God.

And thank you for a boy who loves them.

Happy 6th birthday, hot rod!
